Singles Mingle - HOTW

Hey hey hey! I'm back with another 'hair of the week' post. This week I tried something a little different. I was inspired by Rachel to give single braids a try. I had not done this style in YEARS, since I was a child with natural hair. But I think this style will be perfect for what I'm about to embark on this week, but that's a whole 'notha post. Check it out:

Single Braids - HOTW {Protective style}


I didn't go super small with the plaits since I didn't want it to take up too much of my Sunday and also because I don't intend to rock them for more than a week. I have an engagement at the weekend and don't wish to be wearing juvenile-looking braids lol. If however I attempt them once more, I may do them a bit smaller and keep them for at least 2 weeks.

This style took me all of 2 hours to do my entire head. But it's OK because it will serve me well this week and it can be styled in various ways. In the above pic, I simply used a foam roller to curl the ends.



What style is on your head this week?
